Looking for Michael O'Hearn muscle, I found an appearance in
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Episode 7.10 (2011). It's been on for like a century, so you've probably seen it: four sociopathic pals and their anti-father figure run a sleazy, always-deserted bar in Philadelphia, where they argue, fight, scheme against each other, and work together on elaborate money-making scams
Dennis (Glen Howerton, right), the bartender, prides himself on his attractiveness. .
His sister Dee (Kaitlyn Olson), the bar's waitress, fancies herself an actress.
Mac (Rob McElhenney, left), the bouncer, is obsessed with muscles, and rather homophobic. He gets a lot of "is he or isn't he?" jokes, until he finally comes out, then goes back in, and comes out again.
Frank (Danny DeVito, the moon), Dennis and Dee's rich con-artist sort-of-father, bankrolls the schemes.
He and Charlie (Charlie Day, center), the bar's janitor, live together, share a bed, and get a lot of "are they or aren't they?" jokes, but it's also hinted that Frank is Charlie's biological father, not his boyfriend.
None of the cast is homophobic in real life. In 2018, they all appeared on a Paddy's Pub float at the LA Pride Parade, giving Mac a chance to show off his new ripped bod.
Scene 1: Mac is in a Catholic confession booth (where you confess your sins to the priest, who gives you a penance to perform). His confession: he's fat. Not a sin, dude.
Scene 2: Next Mac asks the priest to have God smite his enemies...um, friends...well, friends who want to destroy him. Not what confession is for, dude. He explains: they became wildly successful, which made them monsters (um...they've been monsters since Season 1), which made them want Mac to be fat. Confused?
Flashback: Frank, the anti-father, returns from a trip to sell illegal fireworks in North Carolina to find the bar packed. What happened? Mac thinks that they just "tipped": if you make the right decisions long enough, eventually things tip in your favor. Charlie thinks it's his cleaning, Dee her jokes, Dennis his hotness. They don't know which it is, so they have to continue doing everything.
Scene 3: In bed that night, Charlie just wants to go to sleep so he can work tomorrow, but Frank wants to blow up a lamb with his remaining fireworks. They argue until Charlie makes a barrier between them, so they can't have sex, which hurts Frank's feelings. Mac calls and invites them to go on a rager, but they can't because they're fighting.
Left: Frank, Danny DeVito.
Scene 4: The next day, Dennis won't come out of the bathroom, so Charlie has to bartend, which he's not qualified for. Meanwhile, Dee tries to be funny, ignoring customers' orders to tell lame half-jokes and berating them when they don't laugh, and Mac comes late in after a rager involving three bottles of champaign and a stray dog. Everything is in chaos.
They all go into the bathroom to see what's wrong with Dennis: he found a couple of gray hairs and tried to eradicate them, ending with a terrible haircut. He's afraid to be seen in public.
Scene 5: After bartending all night, Charlie is exhausted; plus he hasn't had time to clean. Frank has come up with a new prank: four stop signs at an intersection, so no one can move, har har. Charlie points out that he built a four-way stop, actually making the neighborhood safer. "Ok, then, why don't we go around and hit people with sticks?" Charlie doesn't want to do that, either. Not the best ideas for Date Night, buddy.
Scene 6: Mac is planning places to avoid when he sails around the world with the profits from their new successful bar. He'll avoid Africa -- too poor, the Middle East -- too hot, and well, everywhere. Meanwhile, Dennis applied a chemical peel to his face, and now looks disfigured, so he can't be the attractive bartender anymore.

Dee suggests hiring replacements, or avatars, to do all the dirty work, so they can concentrate on being attractive, funny, and successful. Of course the avatars have to look like the gang.
More sunny after the break
